APHA Case Study
DISCUSSION:

Some of the APHA sections that appeal to me most are the Events & Meetings, News & Media, and Topics & Issues. I like that these APHA sections because they are constantly updated to offer vital information regarding current and past health related topics.

I do absolutely feel that APHA is an organization that will encourage my growth professionally in the health industry. The APHA not only focus on building a healthy community by working with local state and federal lawmakers to change health policies, they work with other key partners in global health including Global Health Council and United Nations Council of Organizations, to research global health crisis and developing treatments.

    As a resolution analyst at UnitedHealthcare (UHC), over ninety percent of my decisions are based on evidence provided by providers’ and members’ health policy contract and UHC reimbursement policies.

If the member provides proofs such as a copy of the participating provider listing on UHC's website or the provider proper Tax ID to support their…

    1. How does HIPPA serve to protect patient rights? A patient’s health information can be shared with doctors and hospitals for treatment and care. The information can also be shared with family members who the patient has given permission to access the patient’s records. HIPPA’s guidelines make clear exactly what information about patients is protected. Called PHI, this information includes anything that would identify a patient, from name, Social Security numbers and addresses to broader identifiers like race, age and home state.

    In my opinion I think the VHA has not been doing enough for the Veterans they serve. I don’t think those the VHS are not serving our Veterans out of deliberate negligence on their part I believe that there is a lot red tap and bureaucracy involved I the services provide which may in turn tie the hands of the providers. In general I think its important understand how decision made at a legislative level may be directly effect how are being provide at a direct care level. I think the VHA is working to provide comprehensive care for their Veteran population. For example one area I see the VHA making strides in their services is having Women focused clinics. While womens focused health care with VHA started in 1988, in 2012 the program was modified…

    Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association is one of the many major health insurance companies in the United States. The company was started by a man named Dr. Justin Ford Kimball in 1929. Kimball started the program because he noticed that teachers had a huge burden of medical bills in his area. He started a plan for teachers to be able to have a three week hospital stay covered for as little as fifty cents a month. The first plan was a hit when over 1250 teachers enrolled at once (Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association History). The plan started to spread throughout the United States. In 1934, E.A. van Steenwyk designed the Blue Cross name and…

    The BSHA program has brought much insight of the health care field to me. It has made me realize the different aspects of health care that there is in order to correctly manage any type of health care facility properly. My impression of this program is that it is somewhat well put together, although I do feel as if I was not learning as much as I wish I did. Even though with time and experience I will really get to the career field I want. I think I really enjoyed the idea of using my passion for computer network in the health care setting. I thought I wanted to be a nurse; I was so not interested in nursing. I think with this degree I can effectively use one degree with the other. The positions that administration occupy are those which are needed and provide a necessary service to better run facility and allowing the caretakers to do their jobs in taking care of the physical needs of the patients.…
